We detail the widely prevalent technique of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) molding using SU-8 for creating microfluidic chambers and channels. Although other techniques such as injection molding are more apt for mass manufacturing and cost-effective, PDMS molding is used almost exclusively for rapid prototyping in corporate and research environments because of its simplicity and fast turnaround time.
我们详细介绍了一种广泛应用的技术,即使用SU-8进行聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)成型,以创建微流体腔室和通道。尽管其他技术(如注塑成型)更适合大规模生产且成本效益更高,但由于其简单性和快速周转时间,PDMS成型几乎专门用于企业和研究环境中的快速原型制作。
